Looks like I'm going to the sky, people. Hope to see you there, especially the good folks of #bfc530.

@TreeHouseBrewCo Quite possibly my favorite beer that you brew.

College luddites reject "The Year of AI Exploration"

With this beautiful hand-typed letter.

@SeanGrandePBP Got to give Danny his flowers.

This is sadly true too much of the time.

Never forget that teachers don't get to choose the programs they use, the curriculum they follow, or how the students are grouped to receive intervention. We are often asked to "be creative" when the only effective solution is to change the program, or to rearrange groups, or to have additional staff support the children.

Many teachers(experienced and new ones) get burned out because the system often asks them to do what is ineffective and sets them and their students up for failure.

@TreeHouseBrewCo Indeed! The first time I had this out of a growler shared with friends was nothing short of a transcendent experience. It might be my favorite beer of all time.

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@TreeHouseBrewCo Nice to see this return. Hoping the same for Lights Out.

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@sage_stage Ouch. That's a rough take.

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@blapins @TreeHouseBrewCo For the record, Lights Out - the first beer they canned - is the pale ale GOAT.

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@Mr_Rablin Bro you not wrong.

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@flyingmonkey13 That's fantastic. We need great people in these roles. If you ever want to move to bucolic Western Massachusetts, I know some excellent school districts that would benefit from your leadership!

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@CarlAzuz Well played good sir. Well played.

@MattRKay Organizing ideas into separate groups of text is a skill that needs to be explicitly taught.

@arenella1 I'm surprised Musk allowed this to be published on his propaganda platform. This site - which used to be a wonderful source of connection and collaboration - has become a real dumpster fire. With that being said, I appreciate your patriotism and willingness to share.

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@susangbarber Love it.

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@coachcullen411 Thanks, Kevin. I've really just dabbled in Bluesky. Haven't had the time to recreate myself over there. I actually created a profile 2 years ago but forgot about it. I primarily use Twitter to participate in the #bfc530 chat, and plan to continue to do so, regardless of platform.

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@Edu_Historian See you there, good sir.

[Peter Weller @mrbg]

@susangbarber Catch you on the flip side.

@heymrsbond The best PD I've ever had was led by fellow teachers at the old New England Association of English Teachers conferences. In particular, sessions on poetry slam, speaking skills, debate, writing portfolios, short stories, and analysis stand out. Focused and content specific!
